Chapter 286 The Victory of the Hehuan Sect!

The competition between Lingxiao Sect and Wuxing Sect on the arena has entered its later stages.

Shen Quelin crossed his arms and watched the intense battle on the arena. "Their spiritual energy is almost gone. The match should be over soon."

“The Five Elements Sect has many weapon makers, so they don’t lack magical artifacts. However, the Lingxiao Sect has a more balanced range of professions, and with their two alchemists, they have plenty of pills to replenish spiritual energy quickly,” Shen Xingzhi analyzed. “This round should be won by the Lingxiao Sect.”

Shen Youqing glanced at Shen Xingzhi.

Shen Xingzhi felt a chill run down her spine, and an uneasy premonition immediately arose.

I have a feeling that Qing has ulterior motives.

Looking at the Five Elements Sect disciples who were already showing signs of exhaustion and defeat, Jiang Chenying said in a cold and objective voice, "Wei Ningguang is primarily a weapon refiner; she lacks a lot in alchemy."

“Not everyone is as diligent as your Qingyu Sect,” Shen Youqing said quietly.

Geniuses like Jiang Chenying, who can excel in both areas, are extremely rare!

Like Chi Guyuan, he is not only a talisman master but also an alchemist, but he is clearly more skilled at using talismans.

Jiang Chenying is skilled in both swordsmanship and alchemy; it can be said that he is advancing in both fields simultaneously.

"You're not far behind either," Jing Liang said quietly, seemingly still holding a grudge from earlier. "Healer, talisman master, swordsmanship, and body tempering—which one aren't you good at? You're even more outrageous than Senior Brother!"

Shen Youqing opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat.

Seeing Shen Youqing speechless and unable to refute, Jing Liang felt relieved.

Jiang Chenying and the other three looked at their fifth junior brother with expressions of approval.

Can they outmaneuver Shen Youqing no matter how much they try?

“And your senior brother, he’s only been learning for two or three years, right? But now he’s already made some progress in swordsmanship.” Jing Liang glanced at the aloof and distant man, then said to Shen Youqing, “Your Hehuan Sect doesn’t even give anyone a way to survive.”

Shen Youqing felt it was an exaggeration.

Ji Fuchuan chimed in, "Fellow Daoist Jing is right."

Hua Ci nodded in agreement.

While they were chatting, the outcome of the contest on the ring was already decided.

"Lingxiao Sect Victory!"

The disciples of the Five Elements Sect helped each other off the arena.

Before they could even take out their pills, a greenish-blue light array lit up beneath their feet.

The group, who had been depleted of spiritual energy, immediately recovered and showed Shen Youqing expressions of gratitude.

Chu Jianyan and the others received a healing array after coming down from the arena.

"It's getting dark." Yue Ruoshui's somewhat gloomy voice rang out, "It seems the next match is tomorrow."

Shen Youqing glanced at the already completely dark sky.

I need to go back and rest to prepare for tomorrow's match.

The disciples exchanged a few words and then dispersed.

The next day.

Before Chenshi (7-9 AM), the sky was already mostly bright, and the square was bustling with activity.

When the five direct disciples arrived, the lively atmosphere was unprecedented.

"The Joyous Union Sect versus the Azure Dragon Sword Sect!"

As the elder's voice fell, the two disciples stepped onto the arena to compete.

After exchanging greetings with bows, the ten people quickly got to work.

After a brief discussion of their tactics last night, Shen Xingzhi and her group of five had a clear objective: they all headed towards Shen Youqing.

Liang Shimu released a five-tailed white fox to intercept Shen Xingzhi, while Jiang Zhi, who was standing nearby, took the initiative to meet the white fox and trip it up.

Ming Jixue and Hua Ci were intercepted by Lin Jinyao and Yang Yousheng.

Shen Xingzhi and Ji Fuchuan rushed towards Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke, their long swords quickly forming a sword formation.

"Get out of the way," Shen Youqing said, drawing his sword and charging forward.

Xiao Ke obeyed her and turned to help Lin Jinyao.

"Big Dipper Sword Formation—Activate!"

"boom--"

The sword formation seemed to explode after colliding with something, and thick fog instantly filled the arena, obscuring everyone's figures.

Just when everyone thought Shen Youqing would be smashed down by the sword formation, a ghostly figure flashed by.

"Where is Shen Youqing?!" "This sword formation is incredibly powerful! If someone gets hit, they'll either die or be seriously injured!"

The fog dissipated somewhat, and the green healing array lit up.

The situation on the ring was far more absurd than what was happening in the arena.

Shen Youqing was forced to the edge of the arena by the two opponents, while the four opponents on the other side were fiercely suppressing the three from the Azure Dragon Sword Sect.

"Oh my God!"

"Is Shen Youqing about to fall?!"

The conversations below the ring were noisier and more chaotic than those outside the arena.

Yue Ruoshui looked at Shen Youqing, whose body was mostly outside the arena, her eyes filled with worry, and she was so nervous that she clenched her hands.

Shen Quelin's expression also became calm and profound, and his eyes became serious, with a clear sense of tension and worry flowing through them.

In contrast, Yue Xunzhu stood calmly and composed.

Shen Xingzhi and Ji Fuchuan pressed forward relentlessly, but Shen Youqing's movements were extremely fast, and she dodged each sword light.

Facing Shen Youqing, whose movements were superb, the two siblings exchanged a glance.

The two quickly separated and attacked from both sides, determined to force Shen Youqing down.

With a figure as light as a butterfly, Shen Youqing leaped into the air, dodged Shen Xingzhi's longsword with a side somersault, and then flipped over to step on Shen Xingzhi's sword to use the momentum to rush towards Ji Fuchuan.

Ji Fuchuan quickly switched from offense to defense, but was still knocked back by Shen Youqing's punch, with two-thirds of his body flying out of the ring.

Just as Shen Xingzhi was about to go up and pull the person away, Shen Youqing swept her foot away.

Seeing that Ji Fuchuan was beyond saving, Shen Xingzhi didn't say a word and directly slashed at Shen Youqing with her sword, preparing to send her down.

Shen Youqing leaned back to avoid it.

At this moment, she was standing on the ring with only her toes on.

Shen Xingzhi chased after him with her sword.

Just then, a fluffy tail flew over and wrapped around Shen Youqing's waist, pulling her.

Shen Youqing flew away with a "whoosh".

Shen Youqing, who had flown over, was dropped in mid-air. She grabbed Xiao Ke's outstretched hand and used it to land quickly. Then, holding the talisman, she rushed towards Jiang Zhi to the side.

"Is this Liang Shimu's contracted spirit beast?"

"How come it works so well with Shen Youqing?!"

"Wasn't the fox tripped up by Jiang Zhi?"

"At least it has five tails!"

……

Shen Xingzhi turned and rushed over to help Jiang Zhi.

Liang Shimu and Shen Youqing are facing off against Jiang Zhi and Shen Xingzhi, while the three of them are facing off against Ming Jixue and Hua Ci.

The outcome of this match is already a foregone conclusion.

“Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be like this.” Wen Shiyue rubbed her chin thoughtfully, her mind filled with the scene of the five-tailed white fox saving Shen Youqing.

That was Liang Shimu's contracted spirit beast, and it shared a telepathic connection with Liang Shimu, not with Shen Youqing.

Given the situation just now, a second faster would have saved Ji Fuchuan, while a second slower would have allowed Shen Youqing to come down.

It was so unexpected that it got stuck right there, catching everyone completely off guard.

"Could it be because of the affinity of wood-type spiritual roots?" Qingya asked.

He had personally experienced Shen Youqing's affability.

Wen Shiyue thought for a moment, "That's not impossible, but it could also be an order from Fellow Daoist Liang."

“But it’s clear that Fellow Daoist Liang didn’t realize it at that time,” Chu Jianyan said gently. “The Five-Tailed White Fox’s actions were not an order.”

Wen Shiyue and Qingya exchanged a glance and then fell into deep thought.

Soon, Hua Ci and Ming Jixue were forced off the stage one after another, and Shen Xingzhi and Jiang Zhi struggled for a while before coming down as well.

"Hehuan Zongsheng!"

"The Hehuan Sect, Qingyu Sect, and Lingxiao Sect, come and draw lots!"

Watching their distinguished disciples draw lots, the other cultivators' eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation.

The Hehuan Sect, which was least favored, surprised everyone with its outstanding performance, as did the Qingyu Sect and Lingxiao Sect, which had consistently ranked first and second for many years.

The matches between these three masters will only be more exciting!
